This kit gives the AlphaSmart Neo2 more of a portable typewriter-like design

The AlphaSmart Neo2 is a portable word processor that was released nearly two decades ago as a device that provides a distraction-free writing experience without all the extra stuff that comes with a full-fledged laptop computer. With a small greyscale LCD display, a full-sized keyboard, and compact design, it continues to have fans.

But that doesn’t mean it couldn’t be improved. WriterDeck […]

I won an auction and I got an #alphasmart neo 😁

Now I can let my son focusing on writing a book with without the needs to use the laptop!

I love low technology! 🫶

"The career of (Humphrey) Davy had possessed for me, since infancy, an overmastering fascination. His father's foible of lycanthropy, his mother's descent in the direct line from Attila, had touched my imagination." -- E. CLERIHEW BENTLEY

(You've still got it, AlphaSmart!)

Okay, just swapped out my BT keyboard for the #AlphaSmart 3K, and it's a much better typing experience. Fits my typing style better, and I'm less inclined to accidentally hit the Caps Lock key. The trade-off is having one more (short) cable on my desktop.

My #AlphaSmart 3000 keyboard has worked with every device I've owned, right up until the introduction of USB C. Won't work with my phone or my camera.

#PhantastikPrompts 20.02.25 Frage an den Autor: Welche Programme nutzt Du zum Schreiben? Warum?

LibreOffice oder Word, wenn ich etwas digital festhalten möchte, aber nicht an meinem Schreib-PC bin. Ansonsten Papyrus Autor wegen der Stilanalyse, dem Duden Korrektor, der Charakterkarten und der Lesbarkeitsstatistik. Auf Reisen: Alphasmart Neo

How to #print to a cheap USB thermal receipt #printer from your #Alphasmart Dana

#writer #writing

Turns out printing to a USB thermal "portable receipt printer" from an #Alphasmart #Dana works :) I think an 80mm instead of a 58mm would have fewer line-break issues.

A Brief History of AlphaSmart https://hackaday.com/2024/07/29/a-brief-history-of-alphasmart/ #PeripheralsHacks #Retrotechtacular #portablecomputer #AlphaSmartNEO #wordprocessor #AlphaSmart #education #history

Thrifted a small-ish TV and now have my #RPi 5 properly set up. Waiting on the correct power supply, but the one from my Pi 400 works for now.

Using my #AlphaSmart 3000 as the keyboard, because I like the typewriter-y feel of it.

@v Esa #Dana funciona de maravilla. Está prácticamente como nueva. Así que destruirla para convertirla en otra cosa no está en mis planes. Además, tiene un valor sentimental muy especial. En 2002 tenía un emprendimiento llamado #ImpulsoEducativo, y fuimos los distribuidores de #AlphaSmart en esta región del país, llevándola a muchas escuelas regionales. Una buena época! (1/2)

De la colección #Palm

La #Dana de #AlphaSmart fue un dispositivo enfocado principalmente para el nicho educativo y de personas dedicadas a la escritura. Ejecutaba el sistema de #PalmOS, y era compatible con prácticamente todas las apps disponibles. (1/3)

For the curious in the audience,

that strange grey keyboard is an Alphasmart Neo 2, which is a great writing tool.

The lovely walnut burl cover is one-of-a-kind … I made it (!) to protect my nearly one-of-a-kind ROLI Seaboard Grand LFE from tiny cat claws.

Eight octaves of MPE keywave bliss … very rare. And a joy.

Check out how awesome it looks on the #Alphasmart Dana

Oh no. I found another one.

#Schreibnacht heute mal Retro-Style
#AlphaSmart

Bought myself a little word processor.

Kidding myself that it will tear me away from the internet and encourage me to write.

More likely just a bit of retail therapy.

Time will tell.

I think it's pretty neat.

After #Karabiner didn't work for me, I've now managed to create a working key mapping between the #AlphaSmart 3000 and a modern Mac using #BetterTouchTool. Currently transferring the looong texts the previous owner left on this device 😅
